The application requests that the FTC approve the divestiture of the two retail fuel stations located in Saint Peter and Minnetonka to the Andeavor Corporation subsidiary Northern Tier Retail LLC. The application also included a third station in Saint Paul, but ACT later asked to divest the station to Twin City Petroleum & Property LLC instead. That application is pending final approval by the Commission.
Under the terms of the consent agreement, ACT and its affiliate, CrossAmerica Partners LP, or CAPL, are required to identify a buyer or buyers that are acceptable to the Commission within 120 days after the issue date of the order, which was June 15, 2018, and to divest 10 retail fuel stations. The agreement also requires ACT and CAPL to maintain the economic viability, marketability, and competitiveness of each station until the divestiture is complete.
The Commission vote to approve the application was 4-0-1, with Commissioner Maureen K. Ohlhausen not participating. (FTC File No. 1710184; the staff contact is Elizabeth Piotrowski, Bureau of Competition, 202-326-2623.)
